Therapy with Dan  is continuing to change my life, it has also saved it. After six years of devastating loss including my health, my job, my mum and my self worth, I felt completely lost, numb and desperate. Dan offers a safe space, where I have been able to be my true self. His empathy, compassion and non judgmental attitude has enabled me to open up to things that I  have kept hidden for years.
I have started to make massive changes and feel hope for my future. The biggest change is knowing that my life has value and for the first time in years, I am feeling and experiencing life.

“I cannot recommend the skill and support of Dan highly enough. Dan took time and great care to understand me and my unique set of circumstances. I felt heard and understood. Dan used a combination of listening, challenging and practical measures to explore difficulties and find a way forward for me. I am extremely grateful to Dan for his knowledge and skills which enabled me to set my life back on track, feel well again. Resume work and understand and practice the self-care I need to look after myself and those I love”

Dan has been amazing. He is kind, friendly, supportive and professional and has really helped me deal with my condition. Not only that but he has helped me on a more emotional level to feel able to cope with demands in my life and making myself a priority. He has given me the confidence to request adjustments at work which have benefited me, he has helped me open up and recognise things within myself that affect my condition and how to deal with that.

Anyone that has the chance to work with Dan is very lucky and in very safe hands

I found my sessions with Dan extremely helpful. Dan gave me a safe space to share how I've been feeling both mentally and physically. He gave me many useful strategies to put in place which have helped me understand how my general well-being affects my condition. He has such a calm and caring nature and always made me feel valued and heard. I have taken such a lot from our sessions and now listen to my body more when I know I need to rest.

I was fortunate enough to have some coaching sessions with Dan last year. The aim of looking to move my career forward. His blended approach of counselling and coaching was invaluable to me and I believe I benefitted more from having a combination of both. I have made significant progress in the last 12 months and I honestly wouldn’t have got there without Dan.

Thank you!

“In the past I have been given tools to approach various states of anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, but not the space to sit with them, be uncomfortable and examine them. You gave me the space to do that, the tools to support me when doing that and the coaching to support me through it all. I appreciate how you tailored the therapy to my needs and circumstances, taking into account all aspects of my life - without judgement. You listened with compassion and empathy, and helped guide me to my own solutions to the challenges I face”

“Dan, you have guided me through one of the toughest times in my life, your advice and strategies have been amazing. A massive thank you for all that you have done”

“I have immense respect for the kind of inclusive and compassionate professionalism that Dan embodied throughout our time working together and remain deeply grateful”

“To be honest, looking back feels like a blur. A blur that blanketed me through Covid to Long Covid and out the other end. Yet, one of the few sharp points of focus for me during the worst of it all was Dan Loftus”

“I learned a lot about myself in these consultations and he helped me understand the whole process of mindfulness and relaxation to progress to getting better. Dan has been a great support network in getting me back to my near self. I’m still not 100% but I’ve learnt how to pace and believe in myself and without his support and guidance, I really don’t think I would be where I am now”

“I'd like to say thank you to Dan, who communicated and helped build my confidence. This has massively helped me understand how to help myself through this illness. It has been a huge support and a great advantage to now have skills that I can carry forward. Thank you”

“What I valued, above all, was the way Dan held and grew that encouraging space during that time. When my world had collapsed from under my feet, Dan’s attitude and ongoing health mentoring made me hang on to a deep sense of dignity throughout it all. He still saw me for who I was - despite how little I could do”

“Many thanks for your help at a painful and difficult time, it was amazing”

“I am truly grateful for your positiveness, kind words, encouraging advice and supporting me towards my journey of recovery. You are a fantastic therapist, who has contributed towards helping with pacing strategies, changing my mindset and thoughts. I know I'm still on this journey but the difference you have made already is so much appreciated”

“Thank you so much for showing me that there is another (slower) way to live! I have felt supported and have learnt so much about how to manage my illness and how to pick myself up after the hard days and move forward…for all of this I am eternally grateful”

I struggled to accept the notion that I might never find effective ways to manage or cope with this condition. However, through the sessions with Dan, I've gained valuable insights. I've learned to regain control by identifying triggers for my condition and embracing pacing techniques to effectively manage my energy levels. This newfound understanding has had a profound impact on my life; it has enabled me to enjoy it once again.

“It was clear, he was compassionate, insightful and a knowledgeable practitioner. He was able to challenge and investigate my symptoms and anxieties in a holistic way. Without his guidance, and acumen, I would have continued to see my condition from a purely medicalised perspective. It was clear Dan took time to listen in a way that saw beyond the usual, and he was unafraid to check and probe, but in a truly supportive way. I am so grateful for the sessions we had, as I know he has made a difference for me which will last my lifetime”

“When I first met Dan I was in a very difficult place. So many long COViD symptoms to deal with significantly affecting my quality of life…My symptoms included weakness, fatigue, brain fog, cognitive dysfunction, dis-regulated sleep and the anxiety levels were becoming overwhelming. The family home was a mess. His input was absolutely invaluable for getting my life back and to accept the new normal, he taught me so many strategies to help with sleep, trauma management, fatigue, memory, acceptance and organisation…Dan has been so important in planning my return to work and I am now on a phased return after 20 months off… I want to say a heart felt thank you to Dan for all his commitment and help. You were outstanding”

Dan's expertise and deep understanding of my condition have been invaluable. He offers insightful advice and guidance that has been instrumental in helping me rebuild my life while living with ME/chronic fatigue syndrome. His support has been crucial in navigating the challenges posed by this condition, and I'm grateful for his knowledge and compassionate guidance throughout this journey.

Dan always shows me a very calm, caring an understanding attitude and explains things to me in a way that is always understood. He's been able to provide me with really helpful information regarding my condition and gives me his expert advice.

Dan is understanding, practical and shows real compassion. He’s been so helpful throughout and has given some very good advice and coping methods. I can’t thank him enough.
